Some white-washed, French script wood clothes pins for this lovely White Wednesday. Cheers! Jeanine ...
I am NOT the best sign maker. I am horrible at stenciling. I do not have a steady hand. Most of my signs have been epic fails. So when I saw Live Craft Love's post on making a reverse canvas sign, I was intrigued. (Click the link above to go to her post.) I bought a rinky-dink canvas from Target for $2.

This year is the first time in years that we won't be away for July 4th. So I'm kind of going to town on the decorations. This is our cozy Cape Cod and beloved porch.

First up is this wood cheese board. This is the before. Yuck! I gave it a few coats of white spray paint. I found a great French image on The Graphics Fairy and added it using waterslide...
